SOLD TO THE DEVIL

Daniella Montenegro has spent her entire life paying for sins that were never hers.

Her mother’s death. Her father’s failures. Her brother’s reckless choices. At twenty, she dances under neon lights each night just to keep food on the table for a family that has never protected her in return. When the man she was meant to marry disappears on their wedding day, Daniella believes humiliation is the worst fate waiting for her.

She is wrong.

By nightfall, her father’s gambling debts come due, and desperate men make desperate bargains. To settle what he owes, he offers the only thing he has left of value.

His daughter.

Blindfolded and delivered like payment, Daniella is taken to the secluded estate of Santiago Torres Mendoza, a man whispered about in business circles and feared everywhere else. Powerful, controlled, and mercilessly private, Santiago is not a man who explains his decisions, only enforces them.

Daniella arrives with nothing: no freedom, no allies, and no way to escape.

And she carries a secret of her own.

Two months pregnant with a child whose father she cannot name, she is forced to sign a contract that claims her body, her future, and her unborn child. Survival becomes her only goal as she is pulled into Santiago’s dangerous world of luxury negotiations, shadowed alliances, and corruption powerful enough to erase lives without consequence.

But everything changes the moment Santiago truly looks at her.

Because Daniella Montenegro has her mother’s face, the face of the woman he lost twenty-three years ago. A woman whose disappearance left wounds that time never healed and secrets buried deep enough to destroy empires.

What begins as a transaction becomes a fragile and dangerous alliance. As enemies close in and the truth about Daniella’s past begins to surface, Santiago finds himself protecting the one person he was never meant to care about, while Daniella discovers that the most terrifying prison is not the contract that binds her, but the man whose darkness may be the only thing keeping her alive.

In a world ruled by power, loyalty, and betrayal, the greatest threat is not the devil who bought her…

But the woman who refuses to belong to anyone.

"Matias wants to talk to Daniella and Adrian," Alejandro explained.


Knowing Santiago's mood had been far from pleasant lately, Alejandro kept his request brief. He did not waste time asking unnecessary questions, instead turning toward his son and passing the phone to him.


Santiago's expression softened almost imperceptibly at the sound of the boy's voice.


"I wanted to talk to Auntie Daniella and Adrian," Matias replied, his lower lip pushing forward in a small pout.


Santiago glanced toward Daniella, who was still holding the sleeping Adrian, before passing the phone to her.


Daniella accepted it and brought it to her ear.


"What's up, Matias?" she asked, her voice slightly hoarse from exhaustion.


"Auntie Daniella, how are you feeling? When will you be discharged?"
